Possible Causes

Microcontroller self-test failure, Corrupted firmware, Failed low-voltage power supply on control board, Damaged PCB from surge or lightning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the breaker before opening the EVSE. Internal components are not user-serviceable at chip level.

  • Power reset: Turn OFF the breaker for at least 5 minutes to fully discharge internal capacitors, then turn ON and observe if the pattern persists.
  • Inspect for surge damage: With power OFF, remove the cover and look for burned components, cracked ICs, or soot on the control board.
  • Check low-voltage outputs (advanced): A qualified technician can measure the control board's low-voltage rails (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) to confirm proper operation.
  • Surge protection: If a surge event is suspected, consider adding a whole-home surge protector or dedicated surge device for the EVSE after repair.

Persistent 8-blink internal fault generally requires replacement of the entire control board assembly. Field repair of individual components is not recommended.
